(28,979 posts)I as a member of the DU community think your actions help to make DU suck. This is not meant to be an attack but merely an observation. I don't have a problem reading a rightwing source. I am sure if it is as evil as you say, I will be the first to rip it apart.
I recall a time that DUers were "allowed" to post without constant fear of being alerted on by the Mrs. Grundy's on this board. At one time, we trusted ourselves to have the smarts to discriminate between gold and dross. I still think we do. We do not really need "George Zimmerman-like" block watch volunteers enforcing thought control.
In other words, I don't need others deciding for me. In fact anything you denounce, I must search out for myself anyway because I do not take your word or anyone's over my own personal observations. That's just the way it is.
The more you cry wolf, the less effective you become.
You are welcome to alert on this thread. I have tried not to be rude, but I do vehemently disagree with your tactics and find them rather juvenile -- mostly because you rarely engage in any conversations on DU -- just snark and tiresome alerts.
